5UPHrKR AS EVENING srAR.



A very brilliant star may be seen,
about 8 O'Clock, on an evening Of the
middle OF March, rising grandly above
the horizon, far larger and brighter
than any Of the twinkling mysteries
that surround it.
This radiant star is Jupiter, the giant
member of the suns family, and the
most beautiful star, with the exception
of Venus, that adorns the sky. If his
course be watched, he viii be seen to
rise four minutes earlier every night,
bringing him in view at O'Clock on
the LIST Of April. On the 2lst Of April
he will rise at sunset, reach the meri-
dian at midnight and set at sunrise.
He is then in opposition or opposite"
TO the sun, and at his nearest point to
the earth.
The two or three months before and
after opposition give the best oppor-
tunity FOR the study OF this superb
planet. Observers with unusual visual
powers may now see the largest Of his
moons with the naked eve. and the
four moons are easily visible in a ma
rine glass. Even Jupiter himself was
seen in full daylight by some keen
sighted European observers on several
mornings in December and January
last, from O'Clock to 10 O'Clock. The
king of the stars was only tiny shin
ing point.
This is the first time, too, when sur
passingIy beautiful views of him may
be enjoyed with the telescope to bring
him out in his noble proportions, the
shadowy belts grazing the fair round
disc with their changing forms, and
lovely tints of varied hue, while the
retinue Of shining moons completes
the celestial picture.
The interest of telescope observation
centers in the great red spot" on the
Jovian disc. 1t is about 25 900 miles
long and six or seven thousand miles
wide. 1t was first noticed in 1878, and
was a conspicuous object for three
years. In 1882 it grew dim; in 1885
cloud threatened TO hide it entirely, but
during the last year it has become as
plain as it was in 1882.
1t is supposed TO indicate the great
disturbances that mark the condition
of our distant brother planet, but the
men of science are no nearer finding
out its cause than they were when it
first appeared.

TnE WnTEE BIRDS



A most interesting method Of tempt
ing the winter birds 10 come freely and
finger familiarity about our houses was
put in practice By the late Horatio
seymour, a man who was in the most
intimate harmony with all bird and
Wild life. A few weeks after his long
Presidential contest with Gen. Grant,
which ended In the election Of the lat
ter, the writer walked one cold winter
morning from Utica TO Mr.. Seymour's
rural home, q low cottage fronting a
magnificent view Of the Mohawk val
ley, and nesting in the embrace of q
primeval forest--a woodland full Of
animal life, a resting place often sought
by the owner, who was weary Of polit-
ical life, although il had given him
many honors.
Mr.. Seymour, then q venerable man,
was sitting at large plate-glass win
dow, surrounded BY books on ornithol-
ogy, and engrossingly occupied in
studying the birds that fitted from
the forest to q huge cherry tree before
the door, where q net Of wire held a
store OF fat suet--a food rich in cold
resisting carbon, and as tempting to
the half-chiiled birds as tallow candles
are said 70 be to the shivering Eskimo.
Had the naturalist been chosen Presi-
dent, he would then have been sur
rounded by . swarm Of vociferous
ofhce-seekers instead Of birds, and
pressed by questions of policy very
trying 70 his sensitive nature; but the
burden had passed with hsnors TO an
othSr, and he was serene and happy in
showing his hocks Of wildwood pets,
keenly approaching their amusing
ways and little animosities. He often
said that the pleasures and interests
that center in nature never pail OF
grew wearisome, but give to advancing
age q keen enjoyment and endless
fund to draw upon when the enjoy
ments of youth and manhood lose
their xest

A novelty in the newspaper bust
ness Tin the Northwest at least)
is that inaugurated by the st. Paul
Globe in deyoting department for
the use of those who desire to discuss
or state with frankness their aims in
life. Among the letters contributed,
from citizens in all parts of this and
other states, there are peculiar ones,
there are others to be commended
the good common sense that they con-
tain, while still others seem to imag-
inc that their sole aim in life is to
know how to pack eggs. These are
few extracts selected for the variety
they show in the characters which
compose this worldly theater:
Miss Laura Franklin. Duluth. aims
to better the condition of the young
men and ladies of this noble country;
and proposes, for this purpose, to ask
aid of the government in starting
colony of young folks between the
ages of Is and 25, to promote marriage
among young people, while they still
enjoy the youth and vigor Of life:
Miss Flossie Miller's ambition is to
become star on the stage.
Convict, Saltwater: My sentiments
are about as follows, as far as have
analysed them:
For science and freedom
| My spirit doth crave.
| Yet l fear Ill not find them
| This side of the grave.
Rebecca: My aim is to be an orna-
ment in nice home, and think only
of the happiness of my husband Gf l
should be fortunate enough to get
one) and raise my children to be good
men and women. l want to be a ten
der loving mother and true, devoted
wife. This it seems to me, ought to
be the ambit on of every young girl
| just on the threshold of womanhood.
School "Marm,'' St. Paul: NY aim
is to get husband 50 will not have
to depend upon the caprice of the
board Of education for Il living. II
some real good man, who can convince
me Of his honesty and integrity, will
reply to this through your new depart
ment, aims in Llfe,' l will take &C.
casion to reveal my identity to him
and furnish the best of references.
A few aim to be ministers; others
aim to be doctors. lawyers, or politi-
clans, while still others are deluded
into the belief that to be an editor
| ourht to caticfv an ordinary am hilton
There are some though, who, thinking
that the professions are overcrowd'
ed, would be satisfied with two story

happy wife in the second story.
AS a new feature this department
in The Globe is highly interesting.
